Autumn is, without doubt, my favorite
season of the year. The air becomes crisp, leaves change colors, and
if you're lucky enough to be in the high country, you might hear the
bugle of an elk during the rut.
2016 began as an amazing year for fall
colors in the area where I live. As I drove the back-roads during
the muzzle-loader deer hunt, I couldn't believe the beauty and
vibrancy of the quaking aspen. I made a pact that I would follow the
changing colors from high elevation to low, and record the season in
a documentary of photographs.
About a week later, two days of strong
wind ripped through the area, tearing the beautiful leaves from their limbs, and causing those that remained to turn a dead-brown. I
continued my quest to photograph the leaves, but the magic of that
initial week had been lost.
